Connective Tissues Flashcards
Most IMP. function is to PRESERVE WATER
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGS)
Most GAGS project from a Proteogylcan creating a characteristic of?
BRISTLE BRUSH
-Attaches connective tissue together
- seen in JOINTS,EYEBALLS, EGG CELL
Hyaluronic Acid
Most Numerous GAGS.
Seen Primarily in CARTILAGE
Chondroitin Sulfate
GAGS
Skin
Dermatan Sulfate
GAGS
CORNEA
Keratan Sulfate
GAGS
Similar to Heparin
Heparan Sulfate
GAGS from Mast Cells and Basophils
Heparin
Only Glycosaminoglycans that does not arise from a Proteoglycan
